JOSEPH

I’d like to dedicate this book to my family. To my parents, Bruce and Marnae, for the

encouragement and suggestions they provided. Also, to my kids, Ari, Isaac, and Viviann,

who enthusiastically point out a bee every time they see one and who “helped” on every

collecting trip we took. But most of all I dedicate this book to my amazing wife, Lindsey,

who had to spend most of her recent summers both entertaining kids out in the desert while

I photographed bees, and patiently enduring all the late nights I spent writing.

OLIVIA

As I wrote this book, I struggled through my first years as a mother, and I felt a connection

to the female bees about whom I was writing, whose adult lives revolve completely around

their offspring. For this reason I dedicate this book to all the mothers. And I dedicate this

book to my husband and daughters, who opened the door to a true understanding of and

appreciation for queen bees.
